GRIFFITH GEORGIA KENNEL CLUB

The Griffin Georgia Kennel Club kicked off the big four day weekend in Atlanta GA yesterday. With over almost 1600 dogs entered on a Thursday, this cluster can make a difference in the standings.

GCH CH Caper’s Sirius Endeavor

All those points have drawn some of our Top Dogs to the South. The country’s Number One Dog All Breeds, the English Springer Spaniel, finished the day with a Sporting group Two, watching Sue seller Rose send the English Setter, GCH CH Lochlomond's Wrapped Up In You JH, to Judith Daniels’ final. The Number Six Dog All Breeds, the Kuvasz, GCH CH Szumeria’s Wildwood Silver Six Pence, joined the Greyhound, GCH CH Grandcru Orion With Mistweave, the Miniature Schnauzer, GCH CH Allaruth Just Kidding v Sole Baye, the Pug, GCH CH Caper’s Sirius Endeavor, the Bichon Frise, CH Pinkpaw's Golden Nugget, and the Puli, GCH CH Cordmaker Rumpus Bumpus.

When it was all over, the two little guys stood with the top prizes, the Pug, Rufus, with the RBIS and the Schnauzer, Justin, wit the BIS. It’s the sixth this year for Justin and handler Bergit Kabel.
